Bermuda Triangle
Star Tiger disappearance
On 30 January 1948 Avro Tudor IV passenger aircraft owned by British South American Airways (BSAA) took off from Azores and headed to Bermuda with 6 crew and 25 passengers. But this particular plane, named Star Tiger, never reached Bermuda islands. One hour before the estimated landing time the crew of Star Tiger contacted the Bermuda Approach Control and confirmed their bearing. After that point there was no reply from the plane.
The strange part is that an hour before Star Tiger took off a different plane belonging to BSAA, Avro Lancastrian, flew similar route and was passing the weather information to Star Tiger. Several times they were in contact and the crew of Star Tiger did not mention any technical problems. The weather was good (not perfect, there were strong winds), they were able to communicate with other planes and the tower, but yet the disappearance was never solved.
Among the possible explanations there were engine problems (although even after engine failure the planes should reach Bermuda without problems), sudden change of weather, sudden change of wind that could have made the plane to crash into the water. Also there was a theory of sabotage since in 1949 another Avro Tudor IV disappeared without trace while flying from Bermuda to Jamaica.
Can you solve a mystery like this one?
